The TPO encourages the public to attend meetings and is committed to ensuring that all have been involved or have been provided the opportunity to be involved in the transportation planning process.

The Life of a Transportation Project

How do roadway projects, bike paths, and sidewalks move from idea to reality? A federally-funded transportation project begins at the TPO where the project is conceived, planned and prioritized in the TPO’s LRTP. Selected projects from the LRTP are included on the TPO’s LOPP. Each year, the LOPP is submitted to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for inclusion in the State’s Work Program. A project goes through six phases, as displayed below, with each phase dependent on public involvement.
